Former British Columbia Premier Gordon Campbell has publicly questioned the effectiveness of carbon capture and storage (CCS), calling it a waste of public resources. His comments target the multi-billion dollar Pathways Alliance project intended to lower the carbon intensity of Alberta's oil sands. The discussion highlights a growing divide between government subsidies for CCS and the actual technical performance of these projects. Critics point to cost overruns, limited geological storage capacity, and the failure of the technology to address downstream emissions.
